Precious Lakis and Chiedu Chukwumah, two amazing fashion designers from
West Africa, one smiles under pressure and the other falls apart. The
Bright Colors Fashion show held at Farotage in Raleigh, NC, on March 25,
2017, was a great success. The show featured designs from Precious
Pieces Couture, designed by Precious Lakis of Liberia and Doro1681
designed by Chiedu Chukwumah of Nigeria. Both designers represented
West Africa well (photos from the event coming soon). Was it flawless
behind the scenes as it was on the runway? Of course not and C Liberia
Clearly has the 411 from behind the scene. Here we go:

Chiedu was straight up stressed. The up and coming Nigerian designer
fell apart and he had a whole bottle of Hennessy to calm his nerves,
which didn't help much. Thank God, the experience Precious Lakis
stepped up and took charge. To his defense, the Bright Colors Fashion
show was Mr. Chukwumah first fashion show in the United States, which is
a great step forward into his career. Africa is on the rise and with
hard working individuals like Chiedu and Precious, the rise is few steps
away.

He’s done a great job for the city, and I hope to work with him in the future," Collins said. At the La Pa Grill on 6th Avenue in downtown Helena, Collins and other members of the self-described “progressive ticket” watched and waited for the results of the 2017 election.The feeling was festive as Collins received a call from U.S. Sen.

C Liberia Clearly CEO calls on George Weah to take Arts and Culture seriously.
The Honorable George M. Weah, President of the Republic of Liberia, I write to endorse your "Pro Poor" agenda. I fully

support your call "to ensured Liberians are not spectators in the

Liberian Economy."
In

order to carry out this "Pro Poor" agenda successfully,

and in order to fully empower the young generation, the Liberian Entertainment Industry must be included.

Arts and Culture has played a critical role in keeping our young citizens gainfully employed. From the music industry to film industry to the fashion industry, this generation has benefitted from the employment opportunities arts and culture provides. To extend the benefits of arts, culture and tourism, the Liberian government must support and rely on arts and culture as a key input for rebuilding our nation. There are several actions this administration should take to strengthen the role that arts and culture p…
